Evo 2012 Tournament Brackets are Now Online!

Evo 2012 is just over one week away! The brackets are set, and it’s almost time to get down to business. You can find all of the tournament brackets here. These are brackets for all the pools, as well as the quarter and semi-finals. We will be updating these as the tournaments progress, so you can follow your favorite players as the fight for the championships.

1216 for KOF? That’s pretty amazing. So gald to see that many entrants for KOF. If its a EVO next year I’m might go this time.

The number could be misleading since some people probably entered just for the exclusive shirt.

Oh true. But its been already said that KOF has over 1000 entrants. So its still cool.

Your math is off some since you’re counting the quarter/semi-final brackets that don’t have any names in them.

thanks for the heads up. I changed it

Heyyy awesome, this is the first thing I wanted to do when I saw this too!

I believe you have misunderstood the schedule, and mis-counted the number of pools. The latest two pool times for each game are the quarter-final pools and the semi-final pool.

SSF4AE2012 has 95 pools, for a max of 1520 possible players.
UMMVC3 has 78 pools, for a max of 1248 possible players.
KOFXIII has 67 pools, for a max of 1072 possible players.
SFxT has 28 pools, for a max of 448 possible players.
SCV has 26 pools, for a max of 416 possible players.
MK9 has 19 pools, for a max of 304 possible players.

(Every pool is a 16-man bracket.)

It appears that players with Evo points this year have simply received preferential placement within the starting pools, and are not pre-qualified for any later pools. As such, they should be included in those maximums.

I don’t have the time to check how byes are spread out right now. The minimum number of people that you would use a 16-man bracket for is 9, but I would assume that Evo has done the “sensible” thing and tried to fill as many pools as possible; the minimum number of players that should appear in any one pool is 15, and no more than 15 pools will have 15 players (instead of the full 16). If that is correct, then the minimum possible number of registered players for every game is only 15 less than the maximum possible number.

Thus, the ranges for each of our entry counts should be as follows:

SSF4AE2012 will have between 1505 and 1520 players.

UMMVC3 will have between 1233 and 1248 players.

KOFXIII will have between 1057 and 1072 players.

SFxT will have between 433 and 448 players.

SCV will have between 401 and 416 players.

MK9 will have between 289 and 304 players.

I personally really dislike “game wars,” but it is worth noting that this leaves no question as to which games have more or less entrants than others. As I’m sure you’ve already noticed, I deliberately ordered them in descending order from largest to smallest.

This is their ranking in that game by the amount of evo seeding points that they have. Which makes sense because Chris G has the most points in Marvel.

HASJ

Having the most seeding points automatically wins you EVO?! (joking)

Where’s PoongKO?

Here’s there listed under the name “Chung gon Lee” in the E9 bracket

Good catch, but why the US flag? And you’d think the Organizers would know his name from last year so he wouldn’t be in Infiltration’s pool.
Poongko’s twitter has his name as Lee Chung GON, I know it’s basically the same but this guy in the brackets could be a fake.

MK didn’t break 300 player. It’s gonna be kicked out next year.

LOL. Might as well have Skullgirls(post-patch) have that spot. Did not expect Mk9 do THAT bad.

Official from organizers: Persona 4 Arena and Tag 2 Unlimited will replace MK and SFxT at EVO 2013.

where is sfxt?

Where’s Kusoru?

FLStyle

What makes you think he’s going to do a 180 on everything he’s said and go to another American event?

looking just at the SSF4 AE pools, the players attending are from the following countries:

WTF, possibly the best Seth player in the world DIDN’T enter when AE2012 makes Seth like top tier?

As someone mentioned up top already. His real name is Chung gon Lee and he’s in pool E9

Congratulations to the winner of this year’s Evolution Mr. Irrelevant 2012, Woolie Madden from Canada. He’s got the unfortunate circumstance of playing Daigo first round.

can someone find poongko?

http://twitter.com/CedricMonsanto Cedric Monsanto

Chung gon Lee in pool E9. That’s him

http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

that’s Infiltration in E9.. wrong pool?

souli23

They switched Poongko already.
He’s now C8.

Andrew Hoss

Wow, so of the 12 Topanga A-League killers, only RF (the 12th place finisher) isn’t going to make it to the show? I’m stoked.

But yeah, the fact that between Xian, Ryan Hart, and Kindevu, one of them is guaranteed not to make it out of pools is pretty ridiculous.

http://twitter.com/SJ_75 SJ_75

IMO Xian and Kindevu both have more chances of getting out of pools because Gen is an unfamiliar matchup to most and Kindevu plays most of the cast so he can always counterpick

Andrew Hoss

Apparently Poongko couldn’t make it. Which sucks.

http://twitter.com/CedricMonsanto Cedric Monsanto

Is that confirmed? He’s definitely registered. Sucks if that’s the case.

Maybe I jumped to conclusions. I couldn’t find “Poongko” in the brackets, and I saw there was a thread asking for donations to get him to EVO. Well, if he’s going, that’s great. This is going to be a really star-studded EVO.

Bavo Bruylandt

there is a guy named notpoongko, perhaps it is him?

http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

C8!

I’m trying to figure out if that Woolie facing Daigo in round one is the same Woolie from Fighterpedia. That’d be funny.

I guess EG probably forgot to change the country to Japan when they signed Momochi and Choco up.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao

Momochi is a ninja descendant, he must hide his identity, er nationality so he can steal the Evo Cup~

Is there any possibility that I can be moved out of my MK pool(K19 – 2PM)? I (Nick T.) am in the same bracket as Denzell Terry and we live 10 minutes away from each other. If there were any way this could be done, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Need dem seeding points, son.

BadGief

Any idea about when will this be streamed?

Didn’t desk say he was gonna do evo this year?

http://twitter.com/CedricMonsanto Cedric Monsanto

He’s going by the name “bye” and he apparently already won his pool.

Gregory Yoshitake

Damn. Gotta play Floe on Sat for Umvc3.

Fenaris

I share your pain.
They make me go for Noon and 4PM pools on Friday, only to feed me to Mine at 8AM Saturday for an MvC Snack.

oh my god i wanna see roachking take on abegen that would be really really fun

How many games will Tokido top? Time to take bets. Didnt he top 3 last year? (AE, BB, Tekken).

hmmmmm why no teken6????

Look at all those KOF pools! LOOK AT THEM!!!

Quite some brackets this time around! So many pools contain interesting mixes of familiar names. Ultradavid matched up with Juicebox Abel first round in the same pool as Haitani; Xian in a pool with Kindevu and Ryan Hart; Jsmaster (returning? haven’t seen him in ages) with Starnab and AndyOCR; Dakou and Kazunoko, Itabashi Zangief and Snafoo, Valle and Zeus, Sako and ShadyK, Poongko and Combofiend…

Pools probably subject to change, but regardless I think it’s going to be amazing. And I haven’t even seen the other games yet.

Bavo Bruylandt

I hope so because a lot of pools dont have any seeded players

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HANBIP7VPLXI44JWCPKAIS3LVM Chu

shadyK is not a top AE player. There is no problem in that pool.

OzzyKingofKings

My intent was not to provide a “top player” role call, nor did I imply that the pool you mentioned (or any of the others, for that matter) was “problematic” in any way. I mentioned these pools because they contain names I personally am familiar with.

I mean, nobody’s going to accuse Ultradavid of being an AE top player either, and I’d wager that many haven’t even heard of people like AndyOCR, Zeus, or Snafoo. They’re just players who I’ve observed in the past in some capacity and have thus piqued my interest.

I noticed that Xiaohai and Dakou were not given evo points. Right now Xiaohai has to fight Mad_Kof (best player in Korea) in pools, and Dakou has to fight Sparkster.
